That would be cool.

Aren't they all dead now though?

No. WotC has been very clear that only the events from pre-5E that they say have been brought forward have been. We literally have no idea what the Wind Lords are up to. They could be running a KFC franchise in Hell for all we know.

I really thought folks would be more interested in the Spelljammer.

Spelljamming craft have been known to reach Sigil since 2e's In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil. The description of Imel's Happy Tongue restaurant (pages 81-82) tells the story of Imel’s efforts to obtain squid for a guest of his factol. Unfortunately, miscommunication leads him to accidentally order a squidship, which is eventually delivered to a loading platform near the Great Bazaar.​

While I don't think it's in an official Planescape book, I believe an article from Polyhedron Magazine back in the day mentions a portal connected to the Ditch in Sigil that both connects to Wildspace and is large enough for spelljammers to pass through.

Don't have the exact source, sadly...

You are thinking of Of Sigil and the Sea in Polyhedron #137. The article describes the Seafarer's Arch, a special portal that connects to multiple locations at once, including the Rock of Bral.​

Now I am thinking about the "hellbred" as PC specie. Maybe these can create strongholds in the infernal planes, and later these become demiplanes next to the Gatetowns.

And I wonder if after the rewritten core books and the Vecna's event the D&D cosmology is going to be rebooted. This mean some planes could suffer radical changes, and some new demiplanes to be created to allow planar adventures for low level players.

What if the elemental wood demiplane was created by a planar rift between the sun and the clay planes?

Can Athasians travel to the earth plane to mining metal? Of course they wouldn't be wellcome.

* I can't imagine the surprised face of players when they realises their future Planescape game to be based in "happypaste".

Well they are the patrons of the Aarakocra in the MM

 

[Parmandur]

Well they are the patrons of the Aarakocra in the MM

But what that entails, and if it is current or past, is super vague.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Well they are the patrons of the Aarakocra in the MM

That raises some uncomfortable questions about the KFC franchise, then.

I hope these and other cool spells from Torment are in the book.

Celestial Host

Cannon of Mechanus

Symbol of Torment

Meteor Storm Bomardment (okay its just meteor storm spell, but it looks cool)

Abyssal Fury

Conflagration


Deathbolt
